MARYVILLE INDEX January 22, 1879
Wednesday, January 22, 1879
Ad. Wilson, one of the moonshiners who killed John Cooper, has been sentenced
by the Federal Court to 22 years in the penitentiary, for various offences.
The Federal Court had no jurisdiction in the case of murder. The State Court
can try him for that at the end of 22 years.
The night coal train on the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad, which left Coal Creek
for Knoxville Thursday night, ran into a fearful obstruction in the shape of a
rock slide, at Kirkpatrick’s between Coal Creek and Clinton, about half past 9
o’clock, and the result was a frightful smash up, resulting, as was afterwards
discovered, in the death also of William Ault, a brakeman on the train. ---
Chronicle.
John D. Headrick of this county, found guilty by the Federal Court on Thursday
in three cases, for violation of the revenue law, resisting officers, etc.,
was let go, still on his bond of 3,500 dollars, as sentence had not been
passed. When the case was again called up, Headrick did not appear, and it was
found that he had slipped off. His bondsmen are Messrs. E. Goddard, C.T. Cates
and R.P. McReynolds. Headrick has sent word that he will not let them suffer.
Since writing the above we learn that Messrs. E. Goddard and C.T. Cates went
to see Headrick last night, who said that he was coming in this morning to
deliver himself up. This morning he was getting on his horse to come in, the
officers saw him and arrested him, and with Messrs. Cates and Goddard
proceeded with him to Knoxville.
Obituary---Miss. Mary Goodwin, daughter of our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr.
John Goodwin, esq., departed this life on the 15th inst., aged 21 years, after
an illness of four months. During all the time she was confined to her bed,
and amid all her sufferings, she had an unfaltering trust in Christ as her
Saviour, and as her end drew nigh she was enabled to confide in His promise
that as she entered the “Valley of the Shadow of Death,” He was with her to
carry her over to the “Shining Shore Beyond.” While we miss her here below,
she is present with her Lord; “our loss is her eternal gain.” The bereaved
family have the sympathy of the entire community.
Our correspondent “B.S.B.” writes us that on the 9th inst., S.P. Hudson died
at his residence at Big Springs. Also, at the residence of W.M. Brickell, on
the 13th inst., Mrs. Sarah Ballinger, aged 76 years. Mrs. Ballinger was
mother-in-law to Mr. Brickell.
